Can you identify this famous economist?

Known for his research on productivity in the service sector, models of money demand, and pricing in markets subject to "hit and run" competition, this economist is a perennial contender for a Nobel Prize in Economics. His recent work has concentrated on the role of the entrepreneur in a market economy. He is also an accomplished artist.

Congratulations to Seita Kawamoto for being the first to correctly identify William Baumol as the famous economist.
